What COULD an entirely new development look like? If the opportunity arose to design a development, preferably a gridded, sidewalk oriented area with mixed use areas, maybe a corner store, some offices; What could an early 21st century house in this look like? Sidewalks in front with rear detached garages and alleys? Garage forward, lacking windows on the sides towards your neighbors? Could it reject past historical precedents in design? Modern, ultra-modern? Contemporary craftsman? Vernacular? Porches?
Would the houses need dining rooms, living rooms? Can these spaces be ceded to a more utilitarian, yet comfortable design? Can or should one architect or only several plans be allowed? If not, then does each house have to be unique? Is it possible to exclude "plan sales"? Maybe only a hand full of firms are attached, similar to gated communities, where an architect must be vetted!
